Interpol to Release Deluxe Reissue of Debut Album Turn On the Bright Lights

In celebration of the album's 10th anniversary

Interpol have announced a reissue of their landmark debut full-length, 2002's Turn on the Bright Lights, in honor of its 10th anniversary. The reissue, out November 20 via Matador, comes fully remastered as a 2xCD/DVD, 2xLP/DVD, and digitally.

Writing on the band's site, guitarist Daniel Kessler says, "We never could have imagined that the album would have reached so many people throughout the world... We wanted to do something special for the fans who have always supported us. We wanted to do something special for the best fans in the world. We hope you enjoy it."

Along with the album, the package includes a hardbound (or digital) book of unreleased photos, as well as a second disc collecting demos and B-sides, many of which are previously unreleased. The DVD features three music videos ("PDA", "NYC", "Obstacle 1") and time-appropriate concert footage from New York's Mercury Lounge in May 2000 and L.A.'s Troubadour in September 2002. The Mercury Lounge concert was drummer Sam Fogarino's first show with the band.

If you pre-order, you also get a replica of the band's first merch item, an Interpol button.

Interpol's Paul Banks also has a solo album, titled Banks, out October 23 via Matador.
